Bollywood film director Prakash Jha said he will campaign during the Bihar polls with Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar, who is the chief ministerial candidate of the National Democratic Alliance, to woo voters.

Jha told newspersons in Patna that he has extended his support to JD (U) for making Nitish Kumar the next chief minister of Bihar.

Jha described Nitish Kumar as most suitable and the best man for the chief minister post of Bihar. He said Kumar has more potential for creation of a new Bihar than any other leader including Railway Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and Steel Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ramvilas Paswan.
